Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Coconut Bars
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the melted butter and marshmallows. Stir gently until fully melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a stand mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Gradually add the melted butter and marshmallow mixture, mixing until fully combined.
  3. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the all-purpose flour and unsweetened coconut flakes to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 13 x 9 x 1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, then spread the coconut batter evenly across the pan. Bake for 20–25 minutes.
  5. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Lift out using parchment paper and cut into squares.
